Say "Boo" to the flu!

Our PTA fundraiser is in full swing. The PTA will be hosting a "Fun Run" on September 26th and for this fundraiser they would love to reach the goal of $6,000 so we can update recess equipment. All the money goes back to the students and teachers through before and after school events (donuts with grownups, steam night, grand breakfast, reflections, etc), field trip grants, teacher appreciation, and more.
We appreciate the support!

There is also a direct link that keeps track of the leaders. Remember that the top donating class earns a pizza party. Each class that makes $100 will get 10 minutes extra recess, $300 earns a popcorn/pajama party, and $500 earns a glow stick dance party.
